Q. What advantage does Trivial Pursuit on PS2 have over the real thing?
A. None. The questions are dull, and playing it is a joyless experience.

Q. Isn't Trivial Pursuit getting on a bit now?
A. Oh yes, hence two new modes. Flash, for quick games, and Unhinged, adding extras like multimedia clips and gambling.

Q. How is the game presented?
A. Very badly. The female speaker sounds like she's doing naughty things out of shot and often says things like "Correctomundo". This is not a good thing. At all.

Q. How does the game adapt to being a PS2 title?
A. Not very well. It's online, but we couldn't find anyone to play with, and if you want to play a four-player game, you'll need a controller each.

Q. Is it actually fun to play?
A. Christ, no. The real game is a Marmite affair (love it or hate it), but stick it on PS2 with clunky control and dreary graphics and it's a mess. Get the real thing instead.
